78 down and got both 7s I am way past bed time though nite all
I guess if I made overcoats or hunting jackets, I would know the me7.
Ohhh! Thanks for the clue, Molly.
Heh...just accidentally found an lo5 I've never heard of by typing the wrong thing...
Not measure.....hmm.... another clue please :-)
It's a 6/7 combo What ice does + not off
Thanks, Bea!
TY, Bea.
Dauber, finding a word by accident is fun.
Tx Bea!
yw all
Hmm. Both electrical units are in the grid today.
TY. I needed a nudge after hitting a wall.
There are more than two words for electrical units : D
i can think of six electrical units off the top of my head but can only find one in the grid!
oh4 and mh4
thx for the 2nd one scrab
Thanks, Scrab! Now there are seven in my vocabulary. :)
Physics rocks.
So far in life, what I remember from high school physics has helped me in nothing more than Babble. :)
I though geology rocks.
no
just no
You gotta be stoned to say that.
Excitement here this morning. Alvin Johnson Jr, also known as Chip, has his tree servive , Chipmunk's Tree Service, taking down 7 trees.
Where is ruru? The puns have begun.
You can actually thank my high school physics teacher for that. He was the pun master of the universe.
One of the biggest mistakes I ever made in my life was come back with a retort to one of his puns. It still stings 30 years later.
They are cutting down trees left and right in my development. It makes me sad.
we don't need to be pumice-d by puns
talc talc talc that's all I ever hear.
Geez. I have to deal with Babble giving me a sedimentary lifestyle.
it's a lava-ly way to start this morning
These trees have to come out. They hardly have any roots in the ground anymore. One good hurricane and they will fall on the neighbor's house.
sedimentary lifestyle! I love that - like something from archie bunker
That's the thing...I couldn't ever live in peace with a lot of trees around me. One falls and there goes my house.
27 to go. gotta get stuff done! bye!
27 here too.
Hasta!
I just got a really weird no5
(Uhh....hasta to Harry...I'm sticking around)
Bye
mael - is it a plural by any chance?
nope
Wait until you get the 7's...
oh boy
There quite a few weird words today.
please tell the the Cs are not CWs...
They're not CWs, but one of them is kind of weird.
No CW
or the one C I'm missing, rather
too bad we can't have cahoot
That is a weird one...The one you are missing. It's a 5.
Close, but no cigar...
oh there it is. Thanks
It's a bird.
I remember some of the weird birds but never that one
OMG, I can't believe it took me so long with the Os on top. Classic puzzle words.
I still don't have an E from the top corner so I won't judge...
Most of the Es are difficult. Judge away. :)
CLue for the c5 bird please? My monkey has tried everything.
ca+ question word
I found it on the word list.
the question word isnt working for me?
CA + *** now brown cow?
When, where, why, what, ___...
scrab i thought it was the last one you just mentioned
42 left and I am done. See you tomorrow.
Byeeee!
Good clue Une

***Thinks dauber was a cheerleader in a former life
Heh. Sure wish that former life's cheerleader body followed me into this life!
Went down a rabbit ho4...Patty Duke. What a life!
idea for a new brand of breath-freshener: Elemints
I find that those damn pom poms always get in the way dauber
What brought up Patty Duke?
My news feed.
Call her Anna.
Her granddaughters look a lot like her
There were four men who could have been her son', Sean's father.
Anna Marie
She was married to John Astin, Gomez of The Addams Family.
Yeah, but ending up with Gomez as a Dad is cool
so was he MacKenzie's (sp?) dad for sure?
Or the host of Pig in a Poke!
No, Michael Tell was his father but he always thought of Astin as Dad
Who is MacKenzie?
I always thought one of them was John's kid and the other took his name, now bea's telling us neither might be?
Oh his brother, yeah he was John Astin's kid
oh, I thought you were answering me
ok, he looks kinda like John, so that makes sense
did patty duke pass away or something?
A while ago. I don't know why she came up on Bea's news feed
hooray, the FDA just fully approved the pfizer vaccine
that's great news.. maybe a lot more people will get vaccinated now
ðŸ‘
hopefully, but probably anyone that's refused so long will come up with another excuse
idk, i know there have been people getting it within the last couple months because so many other people have had it and there have been such a teeny percentage of bad side effects, they now felt like it is safe. obviously there are the "trump is still president" crowd who will probably always refuse, but i think there is a substantial group of people who had what they felt were rational concerns
Mr. Bea's uncle, who was two years old than Mr. Bea, died this weekend from C-19. He had been vaccinated.
oh man, i'm so sorry bea
Wh5 after "not black"? .....already have "entire"
"... that wh5ever believeth in him shall not perish"
So sorry to hear, Bea. :-(
that's scary bea.. so sorry
Tx hursh!
Thanks. I'm off to be productive today...I hope.
that's shocking, bea; so very sorry.
sorry, bea
what do the 7s start with?
Me and wo
thanks - got wo! bit silly of a combo, which i had tried sn4+second part earlier
got me!
4-5-4
i have a pair of C words, does anyone have whatever the other one is?
oh dear, I just got the wo7. That's not a real word!
don't you think sn4+second part would seem more legit?
absolutely
Well, there are other meanings of w7 besides what goes on your head
when you click the ? it doesn't find it in the dictionary
aha, but googling it is more productive
or in my case Ecosia-ing
Or doing an Ecosia search
Clue for the ME por favor
when you make grilled cheese, the cheese is going to me6 the bread
and pl
OR, rhymes with actor Tom who played Draco Malfoy
good morning friends
morning trif
to repeat an earlier question - anybody have all 3 C words? i have a 4 and 5 pair and need the other one
i can't even find the first pair. does it have that welsh thing going on?
hey trif
ca 5/22 just found it!
hey TO! Glad to "see" you!
ca4 is the famous bible son
ditto, you are okay?
found it finally
yes, we are just fine. trees down, but no loss of power, for once!!!
great
yes. will have to have a tree company come out for one of them - DREAD. They are so expensive!
thank you saanichcat!
i know, i know!
yw hurshy, glad to hear you are Ok after the storm
yeah, it was very mild here and we didn't lose power
i found a small seedling from mine, two years after it fell. very nosalgic
but i must dig it out before it's too established. it's amazing how strong the roots are on tiny trees!
car.eeyore was saying yesterday that she is worried that next time people wlll not prepare, feeling like the meteorologists cry wolf too often. I figure smart people will always prepare, idiots will always be idiots
oh, can't it stay where it is, TO?
no, it's right behind the garage near the wall
oh no then. def in the wrong spot
really no place to put it.
there is something so charming about tiny trees.
it's a tulip poplar
we had wind and continue to have poor internet connectivity - not fatal, but vexing. that ca is 5-22 and comes before the abel's brother pair
good morning everyone :)
time to go, bye car
bye TO
melt
doh!
hi nan!
hello nan!
bleugirl I like your icon
wow, that ca5 took some monkeying!
Thanks! I am a yogi and follower of hindu philosophy
I am hardly a yogi, but a huge yoga participant
new weekly chuckle being posted when I finish this -- so far only Molly has taken up the challenge.
No, Soodle did too
oh - will have to look at soodle's profile
that did make me chuckle, cybernan, good one!
fire works
huzzah for cheryl!!!!
thanks
I kept wanting bigger words lol
the smile on the little human in your picture is so adorable, cheryl!
does anyone remember how to find someone in the rankings list?
are you seeing the one of me with my brothers or the one of my grandson Connell?
if the first the little human is me lol
control-F will find any text string, cnan
ty hurshy
oh goodness, now I am embarrassed, I saw that as a child, but when I zoomed in, clearly it is not. Well. You have a LOVELY smile
thanks I was really glad to take that pick, first time I had seen my older brother in 30 yrs
holy cow! No wonder you are so happy! A photo to treasure
somedays, like today, I find babble so amazing. A player can stare at the grid for an hour, and STILL see words that have been there the wh5 time, but suddenly pop out. The brain is a wonder
Cheryl's new nickname: LIttle human
yeah well 5'3 compared to both brothers over 6 foot glad no ones head got cut off in that picture lol
your poor mother!
loved soodle's story :)
our other brother was 5 11 so I was short one out for sure
I agree about soodle's story, super cute
are you the youngest cheryl?
No I am the second of the 4
hmm, so not the truly "little" sister, lol
she had us then waited 9 yrs to have another and the baby is 18 yrs 2 days younger than me he is the red head
my dance teacher and his wife are expecting their third, and delighted to be having a girl after two rough and tumble lads. The mom is picturing tea parties and tiaras - I rather think, with two older brothers, she is in for a tomboy!
yeah I was a tom boy and there was just two of us for 9 yrs lol
I always found the term "tom boy" kind of weird and a bit offensive
i would pay cash money to see my dance instructor having a tea party with his little girl
i do apologize, ruru - i don't know another, more current term to use, but would be happy to adjust
no it's ok.. it's a common usage kind of thing.. I just always thought it was ok for girls to do boy things
i agree!
we had a girl play softball with us boys as a kid and she was better than almost all of us
lets see, I guess I could have said that his wife is hoping her daughter will do stereotyped girl activities, like tea parties and tiaras, but I feel like I am digging the hole deeper
all I know is Mom always had patches for my jeans and usually sewed them on before I wore the pants the first time to try to make them last longer. well when I was allowed to wear jeans
I never liked the phrase "runs like a girl" being used as an insult.
I keep forgetting that some anacronyms are considered words here
tombot is just as bad
hmmm - certain a word, cyber?
I am glad you pointed that out to me, ruru. I am going to examine this more - there must be a better word to use
I'm with ru on this one too, tomboy is a very sexist word and surprised it is still common usage.
a 4, trif
oh this is soooo good - a synonym for tomboy is "rumpscuttle" which is just fantastic in every way
again, I apologize for using the word. I should have thought better of it
That's hilarious trif!
rumpscuttle is excellent. the definition is too: A boisterous or adventurous girl, having scant regard for the traditional "feminine" stereotype
I'll have to find a way to work that into a conversation, trif.
I LOVE the "having scant regard" part - she made a knowing choice.
well I would rather be a rumpscuttle than a tiara girl for sure
i would too! but it is all about the choice, to me. If the little one would like a tiara, then she should have one. If her brother wants one too, amen! If they both choose to climb trees in their tiaras, ROCK ON
YUP!
since we travelled all over the country my brother was my best and sometimes only friend, I guess I was proud to be a tomboy, never thought about the name then oh but I did like other stuff too, like cheerleading and dance and barbies
Rumpscuttle, hmm, that could be interpreted in a not so nice way.
it's definitely not a compliment at any rate
I'm all for rumps but stop at scuttle
Some people don't like their rumps to be scuttled
I can see the Father at the playground "WHAT did you just call my little girl?"
i have an idea for a new way to say it... hardy girl which is a double meaning of being hardy (at one's play, willing to risk injury etc) and instead of hardy boys, hardy girls lol
*!*~*!*
CONGRATS nan!
what if we just stop affixing labels to people as if they were cans?
lunch time! it's been a hard wait today.
Today's chuckle is an Australian letter -- strong language and not pc, but so like our own government that I laughed all the way through it. :)
hello all....
Hi pen
hi ori...
nan that so so hilarious! I admit to writing letters like that but never sending them!!!
hi ori, how's it going today?
Hi, saanich. Loki keeps picking off low hanging apples from my tree, dragging them in the house and eating them.
oh. no. (got lots of paper towels?) can he be trained to neatly drop them in a basket for you, hahahaha
hi pen sorry missed you there
He has also decided that slightly unripe tomatoes are deliscious :D
hi saani....
*delicious rather
so 6/21, pls
a way to swear to something, bichon
without the -ly
serious
I am stalled at 16...
114 left here
the apples are giving him the runs ori
He does seem to have a sensitive digestive system.
He just discovered the apples.
I need to take care of laundry....bbl to finish....bye all...
speaking of runs
TCL
sorry, need the second so 6/21, pls
TCL?
liquid, bichon
Dogs eat apples?
Taking Care of Laundry
or so + musical instrument
Good grief, hokie!
Every day, she'll be taking care of laundry And working for her pay
I've seen my friend give her dog what's left of her apple when we were hiking.
All of my dogs have loved apples.
thank you, Molly, for getting it
ty Shirl
you think it was a core food for them?
my English Mastiff loves apples too
I like how you get to the center of things, ru
I think it's seedy to feed dogs appl6s
or apples
don't apple seeds have cyanide?
But they're so apeeling
my bichon will only eat sweet peppers and mozzarellla cheese
Yeah, the seeds are not good for them.
my dog will eat anything but some fruits and all veggies
Well at least the dogs are not frittering away their snack time
Your dog eats mulch
my last golden (ellie) snatched a half corn cob off the floor when it didn't make it into the trash and she had to have surgery. vet said 95%+ of the time dogs cannot pass corn cobs.
we have a cat that eats all manners of junk, so I now have to retract everything I have ever said about dogs being dumber
Oh I would always vote for cats being dumber
haha
my dog is on a raw diet, one that we've done a ton of research for and most raw diets call for the dog to get a certain amount of fruit/veggies
gluttony is not species specific
thems fighting words mollyL
Why is your dog on a raw diet?
Not only does my dog love apples (we core it so no seeds) but she love blueberries too
on average cats are a much smarter creature, in my experience. It's just this particular cat that's a dumbass
goldens are like goats, they eat everything (except certain fruits and veggies 🤣)
our other cat is ashamed to share a species with her
Marco refused to eat breakfast. And we have to sedate him so he'll sleep at night
She wouldn't eat much of anything else. And we tried everything!
I believe if I left a 40# bag of dog food out for Winston he'd eat it in like 30 min.
Wait, dogs eat breakfast?
first meal of the day is breaking fast
morning meal
I thought you just fed dogs once a day
mine does but we do 2 feedings on purpse
winston eats a.m. and p.m.
I have always fed my dogs twice a day.
me too
1/2 cup twice a day
1/2 cup?? lol My dog eats 2-4 lbs per meal!
But she's 133 lbs (so far!)
well, bichons are tiny
winston's on a diet. he's eating about 1 c. 2x/day
Wow, your dog eats 4 to 8 pounds of food a day?
it's better for Large breeds to eat two meals at least molly, due to avoiding bloat
my dog eats three cups a day split in two meals.
When she's hungry, yes. And yes, Ru, for that exact reason
hello all. and Molly cats are not dumb!!
Hi peri
And because she eats raw, it is literally a ton of meat, bone and fat.
help with the i please
you aren't going to get away with that with an older dog though Krysten (risking pancreatitis)
I'm not a believer in the raw diet. A bunch of my friends do, but my vet said it's not a great thing in the long run
yeah, and the gluten free dog foods (why did we think dogs need to be GF?) cause heart disease and death in certain breeds (golden retrievers included)
got the it words
There's quite a bit a research that suggests that a raw diet helps with pancreatitis. And truthfully, I didn't want a raw diet either...it's a lot of work. But the animal hospital that I take her too are all on board with it which we were a little surprised about too. But their message for us was that most vets are not for it because it can be dangerous if the owner is not super committed to ensuring the right combination and balance of meat types (organ, muscle, bone, etc).
As long as she gets all of the vitamins and minerals she should, they are happy.
sounds very expensive too!
yes but about the same as high end, store bought.
The question on the table was which are dumber, cats or dogs.
they are each smart about certain things and dumb about others
Just like people, it depends.
have 1/7 E's in the first col. are these tricky?
I can't remember seeing them before, hokie.
ok, don't feel so bad then
h
my vets were more worried about listeria and salmonella
Bichon, you sedate your dog every night?
interesting. ellie got a raw chicken breast once and we googled that she would be fine. didn't know dogs get salmonella.
finally finished first pass. 39 left.
our vet was even concern with salmonella for cat treats, apparently food safety isn't the greatest in the pet industry
So, I was concerned about the apple seeds and googled it. A dog would have to eat 200 apples for it to be a problem. Phew!
wow, ori. thanks.
hello! 27 here.
I have a bag of treats for winston that were recalled. from what I could find out some of them have visible mold. the ones I have do not, so I have been giving them to him.
hey HH
woolee boolee!
23 to go - 7 of them are Ws
Harry is going all Sam The Sham on us
Could I please have a clue for the wo7?
Warm thing you wear on your head
Stupid word. It actually means something else
Thanks, Molly.
Kind of like redcap means something else
found an E!
taking the kids to the dr for checkups. hagd all! 19 for later
35 here. see you later, hh
found another E!
the Es are really obscure today
FW, friends! I listed for the last dozen. Have a great day everyone
well done, mael
ooh, finished the lower E. still need 3 on the first one.
made it down to 15 - 5-9-1 - EE S NN TTT WW C M Y S T
L E TT WWW MM A Y N S ....
found my L....i think I know what Es you have missing....
oh, do tell then
i am done....listed at 11....three missing words were ones i thought i had entered....
do you have the el 5/6 combo?
brb...
penquis - I think that's an animal, must google
Not an animal
wrong - tree.
I know what it is....i was answering carla's question....
thanks anyway.... ;o)
Oh, sorry for the confusion.
no problem....carla is in and out today....
I think it's a resin...
It is a resin. People keep mistaking suggestions for clue requests. It's helpful to start with the person's name if you are suggesting.
usually people have a question mark after posting a stat if they are looking for a word...
carla and I were alone for a while....forgot about the lurkers... ;o)
in any case, i am done...
getting nowhere with the Spelling Bee....think I need a break....bye all....
I am back. do not have that set, so you were correct, pen. now to find them.
ok, found the 5 but nothing's working for the 6. they are related?
What 5 and 6?
pen said my missing e's were an EL5/6 combo
Then you have the other 5 because the 6 in the 5/6 combo is a plural
aha, thanks
and darn, now still need 1 6
hokie, you need the et6/21 -- insert a consonant before the final two letters in the word following.
thanks, but I have finished the e's. molly had it right.
need a 6 from some other letter.
excellent!
may as well list now. seeing nothing new.
!!Everyone waits with bated breath to find out Carla's missing 6!!
Fw!!
many thanks ch1212! as usual, blind to that last word...
the 6s: el, et, me x 3, ni, so x 2, th, wa, ya
I cant find another def. for the W head wear, other than what it is. What else does it mean, Molly?
Apparently it's also slang in the US for someone who owns a small farm
Thx, Gillie - Guess I didnt scroll down far enough
Not sure it's supposed to be one word even there, though
yeah the more i looked into it the more they were saying basically it's like a redneck - though obviously less common of a term!
nott
my missing 6 was TH. I listed and finished earlier without any fanfare. 😜
*Fans Carla's fare : P
not seeing the WO7
Warm covering for your head. But that is not what it means.
Hmm. That's a word?
Like I said, it means something else.
There's just simply no way that NO5 is a real word.
Yep, dates back to 1275–1325
no5 nohow
ah, my first clue...
People love to be clever and post something like Carla and Joy. DCSeain wlll probably be next.
i remember that alleged word...
i am beginning to watch "searching for Sugarman". bbl to finish
well, seems like we usually have nohow and everyone complains. this is the first time I remember having this one.
whew! long day of plumbing issues finally fixed (I hope)
finally had to pipe down IG?
Never :)
my guess is he had to eventually take a leak
too esy, RU
easy
hopefully you're flushed with pride now
been baling for days
hard to get plumbers right now.. they're all super busy and short staffed
I am stinking proud!
I sure wish Farah Faucet was around for you
thats gold
found a great plumber
good.. water can cause all kinds of damage
toodles for now
I tipped him a chunk
I just typed a word, but my right hand was in the wrong position. The word was accepted anyway. What are the odds?
